Use .* before \d{2} since the consecutive digits may occur anywhere in the string. Your current regex should check for two digits to be present at very first.

let sampleWord = "bana12";
let pwRegex = /^(?=\w{5})(?=.*\d{2,})/; // Change this line
console.log( pwRegex.test(sampleWord))

Note that \w matches only the word characters, so your regex fails if there input string contain 5 non-word characters. So for checking the string length, it's better to use . instead of \w.

let pwRegex = /^(?=.{5})(?=.*\d{2,})/;
